Project Overview

Fitfeed is a startup fitness app. Like all startups, finances would be crucial in our success. So we

met with a few investment companies, but one stood out more than the rest. The company that

invested in our business in New York’s Apollo Global Management (AGM). (AGM is a leading

private equity firm that was established in 1990 and currently has approximately $190 billion of

assets under its management. Apollo Global Management has a worldwide presence and it

invests in a wide range of companies in different sectors.) Apollo Global Management saw the

vision that we were portraying as a company and wanted to help us out with an investment of

$1,000,000. Fitfeed is located at 9049 54th AVE, Elmhurst NY 11373. Our goal is to create a

fitness application for both Android and iOS platforms that can track record, and display data

relevant to a user’s activity. It will be used as a social platform to share thoughts and ideas.

Project Background

Fitfeed was created for everyone to track their fitness. We saw a need for a fitness social media.

Especially during times of pandemic. The coronavirus showed everyone that routine can be

interrupted by anything. The coronavirus started a nationwide quarantine, meaning all non-

essential businesses were closed. This included gyms, parks, and other alternative workout areas.

This app connects workout buddies and those in the neighborhood who exercise on the same

path as you. With this app, you'll be able to find personal trainers and even workout videos for

weight loss or to build muscle.

Project Charter

Executive Summary

The project is brought to you by FitFeed. Fitfeed is a start-up fitness business dedicated to

assisting people with their fitness journey. This business plan will show how a $1,000 investment

grew a start-up company like FitsFeed into a $... business in just ... years. The following

documents will include the scope, the finances, our security policy, and many more to give an

overall view of the project. Each section is separated and explained in detail to help provide the

best overall view of the product in full.

Project Purpose

Fitness is something that has to be continuous and when an unexpected pandemic happens, what

are you supposed to do. Well at FitFeed, you wouldn't need to stop your progress. This social

media platform is the perfect way to stay connected with other people who workout. People

prefer to exercise with a companion, and this app makes that easier. Even in the search for a

personal trainer would be much easier with the app, you'll see honest reviews and schedule a

session with the instructor of your choosing.

Purpose

The database is intended to organize the information that the user input, so it'll be easier to

retrieve it at a later date. Our database includes

The purpose of the database is to store information to be easily accessed, managed, and updated.

All information is stored in the database can be searched and retrieved. The database will be

connected to the website and mobile application. The database is the backend for the website and

the mobile application. All data that is entered in either the website or mobile application will be

seen in the database. ER diagram is made through Lucidchart developer to understand the

relationships of each table. The data is being held through Firebase.

Benefits

The benefit of having the database is to have a secure and easily accessible strategy to keep up

with your data. It saves time to find the information you're looking for. The retrieval time cut in

half, just search the artist up and all the information you need from there is in front of you. It also

reduces the possibility of information being misunderstood, all information will be stored neatly

and in the same format. When using physical forms, people are more likely to write wrong

information in incorrect fields. With a database if the information is incorrect there is no need to

fill in another form, you can just edit in one easy step. Also with written forms, people

penmanship can be an issue, whereas a database is typed so no more struggling to understand

what someone is saying.

Backup Strategy

Fitfeed would like to prevent any information from being lost if we decide to relocate or if there

is an event where all data is compromised. So to ensure no information is lost, we plan to backup

all files every day to our dedicated ASW cloud server. We’re backing up data every day because

we’re still growing, but that is subject to change depending on the need.

Security

In order to keep users’ personal information protected were using WPA2, the latest encryption

standard, with AES encryption. To ensure our user’s information is safe and protected FitFeed is

following the following protocols:

 ● Fitsfeed adheres to the NIST Policy on Hash Functions.

 ● Endpoints must be authenticated prior to the exchange or derivation of session

keys.

 ● All servers used for authentication (for example, RADIUS or TACACS) must

have installed a valid certificate signed by a known trusted provider.

 ● All servers and applications using SSL or TLS must have the certificates signed

by a known, trusted provider.

 ● Cryptographic keys must be generated and stored in a secure manner that prevents

loss, theft, or compromise.

 ● The key generation must be seeded from an industry-standard random number

generator (RNG).

 ● As soon as a theft, data breach or exposure containing Fitfeed Protected data or

Fitfeed’s Sensitive data is identified, the process of removing all access to that resource

will begin.

 ● In order to maintain the security of Fitsfeed's internal databases, access by software

programs must be granted only after authentication with credentials. The credentials used

for this authentication must not reside in the main, executing body of the program's

source code in cleartext. Database credentials must not be stored in a location that can be

accessed through a web server.

Entity Relationship Diagram

Tables Description

The table above shows the relationship between different entities within our database. As you

can see the first entity is the signup table. It displays all information needed to completely sign

up. This is the basic information needed to customize the customer’s experience. As you can see

the entities focused on creating the login table are the username/email and password used to sign

up. Once a person is logged in they will be able to view many functions. First, they have the

option to post an update, something like they'll exercise today at 1 pm. This would inform their

friends that if they'll like to join they can. Another option is the ability to viewing their friend’s

progress, their personal progress, and anybody in their vicinity. Lastly, the user has the ability to

edit their profile.

Website Documentation

Web Development

Like many start-up companies, we needed a website to function as an alternative to our

application. We used GoDaddy in order to host our domain. GoDaddy best known for its domain

name registration services, but they are also the largest web hosting provider. We chose to use

GoDaddy because they provide unlimited bandwidth, reasonably priced, and easy to use

interface. Unlike many of my peers, we had no trouble connecting our database to our website

using GoDaddy.

Special Features

When using the Fitfeed app, the user is able to track their BMI with just the tip of their fingers.

Training / Service Level Agreements

In order to maintain this project, everyone involved must know all aspects of the project in case

someone is unable to do their part or needs assistance. The way FitFeed would train outside

employees would be different than the conventional method. Unlike most companies training

will be 100% hands-on.

Summary

In conclusion, Fitsfeed started as a small business and will continue to grow into a well known

social enterprise. Fitfeed was created to solve the problem with unexpected events that could

cause someone not to be able to work out like they normally would. We began we just an idea

that evolved into an app. After we created the app, we realized that it would be best to use our

website for informing customers who we are and what our goal with the app is. We hope those in

need of this resource benefits from it and share with us and friends their thoughts.
